Peter Sisseck PSI 2021 75 cl

Peter Sissecks PSI 2021 er et blend af af 90% Tempranillo og 10% Grenache fra meget gamle vinstokke. Vinen fadlagres 18 måneder på brugte fade fra Dominio de Pingus som er med til at give vinen både dybde og fylde. I glasset fremstår vinen meget flot mørk mens duften domineres af fuldmodne solbær samt viol og grafit. Smagen er rig og meget fyldig mens vinen samtidig besidder en god friskhed og syre som sikrer optimal balance. Vinen er gæret i beton og rustfrit stål og 80% er forblevet i de neutrale tanke, mens de sidste 20% er modnet 14 måneder på franske fade, heraf 10% nye.

A new era starts in 2021, when they got a new winemaker for PSI. The 2021 PSI—still unbottled, as it should have an élevage of 20 months—comes from a cooler year than 2020, but it was also a drier vintage and the wine has more finesse than in 2020. It develops a note of honey, beeswax and pollen—Peter thinks this comes from the wine from Gumiel de Izán (and it also happens in Quintana del Pidio), as the 2021 has a significant percentage from Gumiel de Izán. 2021 is an approachable vintage, and the wine feels very elegant. It has 14.1% alcohol, slightly higher than 2020, but even if they do not harvest looking at the alcohol, they try to avoid going over 14%. I tasted a sample from 80% oak vat and 20% in barrel, with some new barrels. This is going in the right direction. They expect to bottle some 360,000 bottles. As they harvest early, they start the élevage almost one month earlier than others, so they think the wine might be bottled in May 2023.

Robert Parker 93-95 point.
